About the Attorney
Meet Attorney L. Wendell Allen
A Richmond lawyer who handles every case personally, from the first phone call to the final hearing.
Biography
L. Wendell Allen, Richmond Lawyer
L. Wendell Allen is a Richmond, Virginia attorney who represents people in criminal defense, DUI, personal injury and child custody and visitation matters. A member of the Virginia bar since 1999, Wendell has built a practice around a simple idea: people facing the most stressful moments of their lives deserve a lawyer who knows their name, returns their calls and tells them the truth.
L. Wendell Allen, PLLC is a solo practice by design. Clients work directly with Wendell rather than being passed between associates and assistants. That means the person who hears your story at the first consultation is the same person who reviews the evidence, negotiates with the other side and stands beside you in the courtroom.
The firm's office is on N Parham Rd in the West End of Henrico County, and Wendell represents clients in the courts of the City of Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover counties, and the cities of Petersburg and Colonial Heights. Whether the matter is a criminal charge, a DUI arrest, an injury claim or a custody dispute, the approach is the same: careful preparation, plain-English advice and steady advocacy.
